Print From Your iPhone or iPad to Any Printer - sosapriece

Want to print an email you received on your iPad? How about a photo you snapped with your iPhone? OR a document you just downloaded from Dropbox?

Apple's AirPrint technology promises to make that abundant — merely only your pressman has the support built in. What about every the models that don't? Do you really possess to buy a untested printing machine just to enjoy this capableness?

Nope. You fire solve this hassle with a $20 banker's bill. Collobos Fingermark 2.1 is a Windows utility (also getable for Mac) that lets your iDevice print wirelessly to near whatever printer.

There's no app involved here, only the FingerPrint software. Once installed, it discovers all the printers on your PC (including those connected to your network) and makes them available to whatever iOS device.

Frankincense, if you desire to print, say, a photo, you just pull it up in the Photos app, tap the Black and white option, then pick out the pressman you want to use and the number of copies you want to print.

I've been using an earlier version of FingerPrint on my organisation for some prison term, and it works corresponding a trance. Although the developer doesn't guarantee compatibility with all printers, I was able to get IT practical with four different models — including an old H.P. Photosmart 475 (one of those "lunchbox" photo printers).

The just-released 2.1-version of Fingermark adds support for Windows 8, Mac Oculus sinister X 10.6-10.8, and iOS 6. It also lets you produce virtual printers for services like Evernote and Dropbox, meaning you rear "print" documents, photos, and like directly to your accounts.

I think my only complaint with Fingermark is its $19.95 price tag. (There's a tribulation version, thankfully.) That's cheaper than a virgin pressman, sure, but still a bit steep for what is essentially a simple print server. Then again, it apace and easily solves a major hassle with iDevice printing, and that's worth something.
